GCH CH Protocol’s Veni Vidi Vici  
Thanks to our generous readers we were able to bring you most of this weekend’s shows as they happened, but we do have a few more reports to add here in our Monday Morning Mop Up.  Wisconsin fanciers started their weekend on Friday in South Milwaukee with the Cudahy Kennel Club and are finishing it up today in Racine courtesy of the Greater Racine Kennel Club.  
GCH CH Marlex Classic Red Glare
So far our Number Three Dog All Breeds, the Doberman Pinscher, GCH CH Protocol’s Veni Vidi Vici, has tallied two BIS and a Working Group Three.  Fifi’s first Best of the set came in Katie Gammill’s final on Friday.  Also competing for judge Gammill’s attention were the Vizsla, CH ReMark’s Inherit The Wind, the Basset Hound, GCH CH Topsfield-Sanchu Eenie Meenie Miney Moe,  the Miniature Schnauzer, CH Rampage;s fast And Furious, the Miniature Pinscher, GCH CH Marlex Classic Red Glare, the Standard Poodle, GCH CH Jaset’s Satisfaction, and the Smooth Collie, GCH CH Bit O’Heavens Sorceress PT RN, who picked up the Reserve award.   
GCH CH Jaset’s Satisfaction
Saturday Judge Gammill would exercise that dog show axiom, “The Best Dog on the Day”, and give FiFi the Group Three, and send the Alaskan Malamute, CH Tugar’s America’s Most Wanted forward to Kent Delaney’s final.  Joining the Malamute were the Vizsla, GCH CH Regal Point Pinnacle Of Kilauea JH, the Saluki, GCH DC Chubasco Goldi Looks For Impala, the Border Terrier, GCH CH Meadowlake Simply Sinful, the above named MinPin & Poodle, and the Belgian ?Sheepdog, GCH CH Uri De Beauvoir.  
His Reserve was the Standard Poodle, London, and his Best was the MinPin, Classie.  Classie is the country’s Number One MinPin, Number Two Toy Dog, & Number Seven Dog All Breeds with 17 BIS this year.  
The whole crowd would pack up and move on to Racine for the GRKC’s two shows,  Sunday’s final fell to Sue-Ellyn Rempel who would pick FiFi out of a lineup that included the Vizsla, GCH CH Renaissance Pink Chacha (Did you notice that the Sporting Group One went to three different Vizslas?  We would have loved to have sat at that breed ring.), the Harrier, GCH CH Tallyho The Time Of My Life, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, GCH CH Homebrewed Page Three Girl, the Blenheim & Prince Charles English Toy Spaniel, GCH CH Loujon Thornwood Little Jacob, the Poodle, London, who was Reserve once again, and the German Shepherd Dog, Lockerhaus Cruz Director V Jada. 
 FiFi sits all alone in the Number Three spot, more than 11,000 point behind the two leaders and 9,000 point ahead of Number One, with 27 BIS.  We would advise our Top Two to remember to keep an eye on the rear view mirror.

This just in from Racine WI, the English Springer Spaniel, GCH CH Wynmoor Champagne Supernova, has just collected another BIS at the Greater Racine Kennel Club show.  It was no walk in the park.  Peyton was challenged in the final by three Top Ten Dogs, the RBIS, the Doberman Pinscher, GCH CH Protocol’s Veni Vidi Vici, the Miniature Pinscher, GCH CH Marlex Classic Red Glare, and the Standard Poodle, GCH CH Jaset’s Satisfaction..  Also on hand in Judy Webb’s BIS ring were the Longhaired Dachshund, GCH CH Hundelben Queen‘s Armada, the Border Terrier, GCH CH Meadowlake Simply Sinful, and the German Shepherd Dog, Lockerhaus Cruz Director V Jada.  
GCH CH Protocol’s Veni Vidi Vici  
Peyton’s 31st BIS of the season makes the race for AKC’s Number One Dog a virtual tie.  While our standings boast a margin of error of 0.5 percent, our model has the Top Two Dogs separated by around 275 points a margin of 0.005 percent.  That’s what is call, in this Presidential election season, a statistical tie.  Nonetheless, we’ve never been afraid to take a stand.  We will tell you who we think is the Number One Dog All Breeds no later than Wednesday.
